A lawsuit has been filed in the Northern District of California against GameStop, citing deceptive practices relating to used game sales. IGN has details on the suit, which stems from a customer buying a used copy of Dragon Age: Origins with the belief that additional DLC was available for free based on the cover blurb. Of course this DLC is part of the new trend intended to impede used-game sales, which the customer learned when they tried to get the DLC, which set them back an additional $15.00, making their final purchase price for the used game $10.00 more than the cost of a brand-new copy (that sound you hear is EA execs exchanging high-fives). IGN has a copy of the complaint in Adobe Acrobat-format, and an article on this on Gamasutra offers thoughts from an analyst saying that GameStop will probably be able to remedy this problem by affixing stickers to used games clarifying DLC availability.

Used game sales are worse than piracy? Well crap I guess I'll stop buying new ones then! I didn't realize buying new games then trading them, or reselling them was so bad. But since I won't pay you $60 if I get nothing of value in return then I guess I'll just start pirating?
How does someone sell themselves on this line of bullshit? Do they have TV's running with little fake 24 news above your desk? It works for fox, I guess it could work if they just repeated it enough around you guys all day.
You're attacking the people that buy your games...that is really smart. Go ahead and keep doing that. Because people who play your games and don't spend any money are a much better audience to target. |
